Did you know #Christ is not #Jesus’ last name?  It is his title and it means #Messiah and #Savior.  The first ‘I am’ that Jesus demonstrated was ‘I am the vine.’  He showed this with His first miracle at the wedding in Canaa.  Why would Mary ask her son to fix the problem that occurred?  Is there any importance that this happened at a wedding?  What is the significance of the elements of this miracle?  What happens to fruit that is not on the vine?  How did this miracle embody the Gospel principles of ’trust and obey?’  Why did they have big quantities of water sitting around?  What was said about the quality of the wine Jesus produced by this miracle?  Were Christ’s miracles tricks or did they have another purpose?  

As I sit here summarizing the message for you, I am bothered by a bird fighting his own reflection on my glass window.  It reminds me that the World right now is in turmoil.  I am made in God’s image and so is my neighbor.  When I fight with my neighbor, I am therefore fighting my own reflection.  The Devil wants us to believe our enemy is our neighbor, but we are actually in a spiritual battle.  The Bible says that we struggle not against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities.

The LIVING GOD #I AM

We hear what all the #politicians say about their abilities to #govern, but what does the #Bible say about ultimate #authority?  Ezekiel 20:19,20,33 “I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD walk in MY STATUTES and keep MY JUDGMENTS, and DO THEM; sanctify MY SABBATHS; and they shall be a sign between ME and YOU that you may know that I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD.  AS I LIVE, says the LORD GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, WILL I RULE OVER YOU”  Col.2:8 “Beware that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.  For in Him all the fulness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority...3:17 “whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him. . .3;23 .. knowing that of the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.  But he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he has done; and there is no respect of persons with GOD.”  Choices  –  Words  –  Actions –  Recorded   by the GREAT  I  AM  are only erased by the precious blood of the lamb, Jesus!  How long since you walked in God’s statutes? kept His judgments? and sanctified His Sabbath? by worshiping the LORD GOD, who is the LIVING I AM with final authority!
